Well, what I was trying to say is that I don't think the proposal was
100% serious. However, I also don't think it's particularly useful.
I am not a big fan of cluttering up the psql command line with random
Unicode glyphs. It's easy enough to find out whether you've got an
SSL connection if you want to, with \conninfo. I don't think it needs
to be part of every prompt.
YMMV, of course.
